On our 8th episode of the miniseries (and one of the shorter ones we've done thus far), Roberto Ortiz returns to the podcast to discuss Adam McKay's first foray into being a dramatic director, The Big Short. Will Roberto & Matthew agree on this being a solid footing for the director, or will they be divided on McKay's change of pace?
